France day 4

Hello families,
Our group went to Lascaux II caves today (replica of a 17000 years old cave). It took 11 years to create a perfect copy of this cave (closed to all in order to preserve the paintings). Most kids were quite attentive to the guided tour (in French), I am sure most learned quite a few things. We then were lead into a prehistorical painting workshop and kids did their best to imitate their ancestors using similar tools and techniques (see pictures).
After a copious picnic (5 courses, that included cheese), we went to a medieval castle. Some kids raced through the whole thing, other took their time looking at details, yet other got lost in the maze of small, steep and obscure staircases. But we all made it back on time to the bus.
The weather was hot and humid today, it is supposed to be wet tomorrow, but we will have our day at the school.
Everyone seems to be doing fine.
